I guess I'm old. I don't get hyped from any tv serie anymore.

I tried to watch limitless but I have already skipped 3 episodes, same with gotham.

They all follow the same idea of good vs evil, schemes, loyalty, betrayal, love, hate, sorrow, joy... then they end. Seriously, boring. But the wheel keeps spinning and spinning.

thanks. It looks good, and seems like it's a side we haven't seen on the drug wars and cartels of Mexico.

It is a very good movie and it looks at the issue from both sides (the drug criminals' point of view and the good guys' point of view)

Good to have both perspectives. Have you seen "El Sicario: Room 164"? It's about a Mexican hit man

ahhhh I mistook it to "narco's"

probably the same exact thing. It's about the fictional life of pablo escobar.

No, Cartel Land is based in Mexico.
Narcos, is about Pablo but it's not all fictional.

Ok well, it's not like we haven't seen thousands of real docuementaries about pablo and the cartel in mexico. It's not like the topic hasn't been beaten to death a thousand times. It's not like we have no idea.

I think the pablo serie is spiced and the storyline have been mixed with fillers to make the story more appealing in the screen to the brain dead new age youth and the rest of the people. I find the documentaries with no background music more entertaining.

Edit, I guess the captions aren't turned on, but you can still understand some of it, and scan through it.

true. But this is different. Watch the trailer. This is about Civilians getting in the mix.

True, I agree. As I also put up El Sacario, look at that trailer. Apparently interview is very graphic.

Very interesting. In the end I was left with a lot of questions (it's a war, and things get complicated in a war, anyway).

I almost turned it off in the beginning on account of the American "vigilantes".

That version seems to have subtitles for decent portions, but it does cut out a bit as mentioned.

I like the premise of this doc.  Will have to watch.  I'm sick of seeing hebews complain about drugs, thugs etc... but do jack shit about it.  Good to see people stand up to the oppressing assholes and try to stop them.

Eggactly!  In fact, there is a miniseries on Netflix called "ESCOBAR EL PATRON DEL MAL", which is almost just like Narcos, but told from the Colombians' point of view.  Narcos is told from the Americans' point of view.  It's interesting watching them both, because the audience gets to decide who to believe is telling the truth, the Colombians or the Americans, about differences of some details in the same story.  It's kind of like watching "Letters from Iwo Jima" and "Flags of Our Fathers."

There's probably a little of truth in both and a lot of fiction to make the series interesting.

Here is my favorite photo of him.  While being on the FBI most wanted list his son really wanted to see the whitehouse so Escobar with balls of steel took him.  Father of the year right there.  Gotta respect him for that.

makes you wonder how much the American Gov really thought he was that bad or not.

Not only that, but I'm sure the American version may have some declassified info. the Colombians didn't know, and also some fiction to cover up DEA screw ups.  Likewise, the Colombian version may have stuff the Americans didn't know or care about, and also some fiction to cover up the Colombian government's, police, and military corruption and screw ups.

I thought Limitless was going to be good after watching the pilot. Some of the worst writing I've ever seen. They took a great idea and turned it into total shit...

I think you are wrong and Pablo wasn't wanted at this time.This picture was taken in 1981 and Pablo was coming to the states where he was investing in real estates down in Florida.He was elected in the Congress of Colombia in 1982 and after Galan "forced" him to resign he got the attention from the authorities.Until then he was a "reputable" businessman in the people's eye, although many people in Colombia knew exactly what he was doing.
